Something missing on the page? To help you stay safe, we’ve blocked Adobe Flash.

While browsing the web with Microsoft Edge browser on Windows 10 recently, I got to see the following message in the top right corner – Something missing on the page? To help you stay safe, we’ve blocked Adobe Flash. I was wondering what this was all about.

To turn it on, you have to click on the icon given there. If you click on Got it, it will not be turned on, and you will not be reminded again about this.

You will need to open Edge Settings > Choose what to clear > Show more > Uncheck Adobe Flash permissions.

Adobe Flash is used for games and video content. But it is often exploited, and so you need to constantly keep it updated. Running outdated Flash can make your system vulnerable.
